[W126 Coupe] Satish or Any long Term Me/Be Tech Please

[Markus Meyer]

 Hey Jack, Here is a good writeup from the archives that Chet did when he rebuild the heads on his SEC.  I believe Jonathan has done this too, just couldn't find a writeup of his around. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/chwilka/cylinder_head_removal_and_replac.htm Good luck!MarkusMarkus Meyer484-919-9762 (cell)http://www.meyerprobateproperties.com/--- On Sat 01/27, XKEOTS at aol.com < XKEOTS at aol.com > wrote:From: XKEOTS at aol.com [mailto: XKEOTS at aol.com]To: mbcoupes at mbcoupes.comDate: Sat, 27 Jan 2007 14:58:36 ESTSubject: [W126 Coupe] Satish or Any long Term Me/Be Tech PleaseHi All,I have been rebuilding Jaguar XK motors since 1966, Ford & Chevy & Mopar motors since about 1965 and so on.My 1989 560 SEC (it has 173,000) is soon going to need to have the heads done and I want to do it here myself.I really need an experienced voice to let me know what I am up against and what reference material I will need.Can any auto machine shop resurface the heads & go over the 
Valves or must it be a Me/Be specialized shop?Is this something that I can tackle on alone and are there special tools that I will need?The only shop that I trust is my local Me/Be dealer and they are willing to give me 20% off the total bill parts included. That still is costly.Besides the heads & chain guides & gaskets what else should I do? (Chain, tensioner, fuel distr., etc. were done @ 160,000). Motor has great compression and burns no oil.I am preparing to do this starting April but I want to prepare myself for the job now.I want to read up and be ready in advance.ThanksJack1989 560 SEC1980 450 SL
